watch deep imports.

[istrasoft]

Some SASS files in my projects seem not to be watched and do not trigger a recompile...

Here is the folder tree:

/app.scss
/_myproject.scss
/myproject/_mycomponent.scss

In /app.scss I have :

@charset "UTF-8";
@import "myproject";

in /_myproject.scss I have :

@import
  "foundation",
  "myproject/mycomponent";

When I edit the contents of /myproject/_mycomponent.scss, the recompile is NOT triggered, even though if I manually hit the Compile button, everything is fine.

Actually, looking at the "imports" contents in the .koala/projects.js file in my home folder, it appears that all koala ever watches is the first-level imports, and does not recurse. Is that so ? Will this be extended to watch imports in imported files too please ?

Underscored filenames are ignored, at least its the case with coffee and js files, so might be same reason here

That's not really logical according to spec. If you work on a project, you edit not only the main file but also partials, when they change, it makes sense that the main file gets reprocessed, doesn't it ?

Yes, Koala now only watch the first-level imports, it's yet not perfect. I have plan to supports deep imports watched.

EDIT: some of my problems were caused by variables in imports, my fault. But deep level imports are still needed. :)

Just struggling with same problem. Koala doesn't watch deep imports and I often work on quite huge and structured apps with many of them. Really looking forward to implementation of this feature. :)

I second the need for deep import watching!

Trying out Koala for first time today and immediately stumbled on this problem - looking forward to the next version!

Edit: here's an example:

http://cgit.drupalcode.org/adaptivetheme/tree/at_subtheme/sass

The _base.scss partial imports the _custom.scss file. Editing _base.scss is fine: it gets picked up and compiled by Koala, but the nested _custom.scss file does not get compiled when I edit it.

We still need this added. It's been almost a year.
